Q&A Meetings
Q&A Meetings are an enhancement to the lecture-style meeting. These
meetings consist of a main speaker or set of speakers acting as the facilitator
or focus for the meeting. Speakers discuss the subject or topic(s) and then
accept questions from meeting participants. With the Q&A feature, listen-
only participants can “Request the floor” to ask a question or address the
meeting, and moderators can selectively grant temporary speaking ability to
those participants. MeetingTime provides full feature control, and the
MeetingPlace touchtone interface provides capabilities for both listen-only
participants and the meeting moderators.

“Zero-port” Meetings
Zero-port meetings allow you to conduct web conferences without
corresponding voice conferences. Zero-port meetings are particularly useful
for two people engaged in a telephone conversation who want to share
documents. Zero-port meetings take up no port resources on your server.

•
Zero-port meetings are subject to user license restrictions. If
no user licenses are available, MeetingPlace allows you to
schedule a zero-port meeting, but attendance is restricted.

•
To protect meeting IDs that can be hacked easily (for
example, 1234 and ABCD), create zero-port continuous
meetings with those meeting IDs. Limit those meetings to
invitees only and don’t invite anyone.
